Über den Autor
Born in Rome, in 121, Marcus Aurelius was one of the most respected emperors in Roman history. When he was 17, Aurelius was adopted by emperor Antonius Pius and succeeded him in A.D. 161. He ruled jointly with his adoptive brother, Lucius Verus, until 169, when he became sole emperor after Verus mehr anzeigen died. Although Aurelius was a humanitarian ruler, he accepted the view that Christians were the enemies of Rome. Aurelius was dovoted to the Stoic philosophy. Meditations, his spiritual reflections, is considered a classic work of stoicism. Written in Greek, the work comprises of twelve books and records his innermost thoughts. Meditations is his only surviving work. Aurelius died in 180 while prosecuting war against the Marcomanni who lived along the northern limits of the Roman Empire. After his death Aurelius was idealized as the perfect emperor whose reign contrasted sharply with the disastrous period before him and the reigns that followed.

Conflict and disagreement do occur, but people need to readily seek reconciliation. To reaccept those who had previously offended. Hostilities endure when people resist regaining friendly relations. Reason facilitates cooperation between people. Society depends on the cooperation of people. Therefore, other people either need to be taught how to improve their behavior, or be tolerated. Behavior and thinking skills are not innate, and need to be taught. To utilize reason and judgment to make the most appropriate decisions as possible. Discovering the most appropriate decisions, would require questioning superficial knowledge. To not easily assent to popular claims.
People need to find contentment in their lives. Which comes from proper work and appropriate behavior. People will only do that which is possible. Individuals are more interested in activities which they have taken internal responsibility for, rather than pressured externally to do. Individuals need to live in the present. The future is uncertain, while the past has already happened. No matter what people strive for and have achieved in their life, death takes them all the same. Praise for contemporary achievements occurs because of political considerations.
Caveats?
This is a very difficult book to read. Difficult formatting with antediluvian references. Many similar topics and ideas are sporadically placed. The claims themselves are rarely given an explanation. They appear to portray common observations that do not need an explanation.… (mehr)
